Work with flow measurement input

The processor reads data from each assigned active input. The data read will depend on whether the input is a meter type that is counting the units of volume passing through (Virtual Flow Computer or rate) or a tank type providing a static storage volume.

For a meter type, the processor may read the following:

• Indicated Volume (IV) — The volume counter that the meter gets from its own input source. This could be an uncorrected, partially corrected, or corrected volume.

• Gross Standard Volume (GSV) — The corrected volume counter.

• Flow rate — GSV corrected.

• Temperature, Pressure, and Density.

• Meter Correction Factor (MCF).

If a rate record is used as the meter type, only the volume and flow rate (both assumed to be GSV corrected) are available to be read.

For a tank type, the processor may read the following:

• GSV

• Flow rate — GSV corrected

• Total Observed Volume (TOV) — Volume from the strapping table

• Gross Observed Volume (GOV) — TOV, corrected for floating roof effects

• Liquid Level

• Snow Load (as gauge or as weight)

• Density

• Liquid Temperature

• Ambient Temperature

• Tank Shell Temperature

• Roof Weight
